Have you seen the man with the golden crotch?
Who oiled the souls of this town of teenage girls.
Have you seen the man with the flaxen wig?
Who brought this city to its knees, who left it lusting.
Have you seen the man who lathers his face featureless?
Because incognito blood won't need to clot,
and if your wearing a bullseye then your gonna get shot.
Hey Yeah!
Hey Yeah!
I got soul
Dress got holes
Got a brand new van
Gun and Cherokee
Driving fast like flashes past
Cops are chasing me
Hotpants she looked fine
She said that she was mine
She was cute torched my suit
And that`s the bottom line
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
On my trail
Car chase boogaloo
FBI `n CIA
And the Russians too
Kicking down the door
Couldn`t take no more
When I`m about there is no doubt
That papas` word is law
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
High speed chase
On my case
Radio ahead
A.P.B. after me
They said I shot the bed
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
Shooting up her mink
Gunshots in the air
Jumpback my car
Goodfoot out of there
Roadblock ahead
Try to flag me down
Soul power and miles per hour
Feet don`t touch the ground
`Cause I got soul
Dress got holes
Intent to kill
But she loves me still
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
I got soul
I`m superbad
Living in America
Sure does drive you mad
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
Bullets hit the wheel
Riccochet could sweat
Talking loud black`n proud
Said papa don`t mess
Can you walk the line
Rookie read my rights
Million hits
Did the splits
This is Dynamite
Funky time behind
Road block up ahead
Driving fast flashes past
Superbad I said
Papas` on the run
With a cherokee and gun
People and need a hit
When you`re chasing number 1
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please

LET A MAN COME IN AND DO THE POPCORN PART I
James Brown
Hey you all look out let a man come in
I got to have fun I'm gonna do my thing
Way over yonder can you dig that mess
The sister standing out there dressed up
In a brand new mini dress
Look hey over there
do you see that boy playing that horn
And dig that soul brother look at him doing the popcorn
Hey everybody I got a brand new start
Hey, hey everybody I got a brand new start
I ain't gonna hurt nobody
I just, I just I just wanna help my heart
Gonna have a ball sure as you're born
Gonna have a ball sure as you're born
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance do the popcorn
Hey look a there hey look a there
Do you see what I see
Everybody doing the popcorn but me
Get back over there with your mini dress
Look out good mama I gotta do my best
Hey over there hey over there look a here
A look a here I got the best band in the land
I just gotta jump back take my stand
I want to ask the fellows don't have no doubt
I just got to lay to lay it right out
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the world of man
He's lost in bitterness
I got you (I feel good)
James Brown
Music & Lyrics : T. Wright - James Brown
Wo! I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of
I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of
So good, so good, I got you
Wo! I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you
{ sax, two licks to bridge }
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love won't do you no harm
and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you
{ sax, two licks to bridge }
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can't do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love can't do me no harm
and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, well I got you
Wo! I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of
I feel good, I knew that I would
So good, so good, 'cause I got you
So good, so good, 'cause I got you
So good, so good, 'cause I got you
{ end lick }
{ short pause } { drum cue }
Hey! Oh yeah-a...
GOODBYE MY LOVE
James Brown
You know sometimes a man
Or a woman makes a mistake
Try to find a reason for making a mistake
But there is no reason for making a mistake
The only thing you do is when
You make a mistake is say I'm sorry
Take a man or a woman to say I'm sorry
And it takes a fool to walk away
So right here I want to say I'm sorry
I don't know where you are
But you know I need you
Now there's one more thing I'd like to say right here
I could say goodbye, you just don't understand
I could say baby I believe you got another man
And that I could say I just can't help myself
But I wouldn't be a man
And that I could say maybe we don't have nothing left
But I want you to know I still love you
Oh no matter where you go, I still love you
Oh, oh take it down Jimmy
Goodbye my love, throwing me away
Goodbye my love
There's one more thing you know to have
Someone to worry when you're wrong
Feel the need of a real person
When your friends drop you behind
To kill your anger just by being nice and kind
I could say if you leave it wouldn't bother me
But I know that would be a lie
Cause baby deep down you bother me
But I want you to know and I don't care who knows
I still love you
Woa, oh, I still love you
Oh, oh take it down Jimmy
Oh, oh take it down Jimmy look a here

Hey, fellas
I'm talking to you, you and you too
Do you guys know who I'm talking to?
Those of you who go out and stay
Out all night and half the next day
And expect us to be home
When you get there
But let me tell you something
The sisters aren't going for that no more
'Cause we realize two things
That you aren't doing anything for us
We can do better by ourselves
So from now on, we gonna use
What we got to get what we want
So, you'd better think, think
Now's the time when we have [Incomprehensible]
That's the thing I never will forget
Now baby, I got a whole lot to give
And a whole lotta loving
That a woman could give, yeah
But before I give it up, I gotta think, think
Think what the future holds for me
Just go ahead and see
I don't need no heartache
I can't stand no misery
Let me think, think
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
All right, yeah
Don't say it's easy
Just plain living
Sometimes it's kinda tough
If it's not in your vision
Don't make no decision
Hey, yeah, all right
So, I'm laying the cards on the table
When it comes to taking care of me
I know I'm able
You may not call it true
But I won't do nothing that you won't do
Said I won't do nothing that you won't do
So think about the good things
Come on and think about the right things
You got to think about me too
Come on and think, think about you
Come on and think about the good things
Come on and think about the right things
Hey, gotta gotta payback

Alright
Mama's dead, never again would she hold my hand
Never again to hear her call my name
How I miss it much more than I show, I miss it, oh
My mama's dead
No one to talk to when I'm, when I'm feelin' low
No one 'stand me when I, when I go too far
I need help, help, what will I do without help?
She tried so hard to make me a respectable man
She didn't really know me and she didn't really understand
She worked like a slave and prayed hard everyday
What did I do for her? My way was not her way
But now she's gone, her troubles are over, the pain is gone
I wish, I had made her proud to call me son
'Cause I love her more than she knows
More than she knew I love her
No one to cry, no one to sit by the bed side
No one to watch the light in my window
No one, no one to come in
Come in and pull the cover over my head at night
No one to say, son, everything will be alright
No one to say, somebody up there loves us
Lay your head on mama's breast and rest, yeah
Everybody got a mother and you know what I'm talking about
Superhighways, coast to coast, easy takin' anywhere
On the transcontinental overload, just slide behind the wheel
How does it feel when there's no destination that's too far?
And somewhere on the way you might find out who you are
Living in America
Eye to eye, station to station
Living in America
Hand in hand, across the nation
Living in America
I got to have a celebration, rock my soul
Smokestack, fatback, many miles of railroad track
All night radio keep on runnin' through your rock 'n' roll soul
All night diners keep you awake on a black coffee and a hard roll
You might have to walk a fine line, said you might take a hard line
But everybody's workin' overtime
Living in America
Eye to eye, station to station
Living in America
Hand in hand, across the nation
Living in America
I got to have a celebration
I live in America
Said, I live in America
Wait a minute
You may not be lookin' for the promised land
But you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names like
New Orleans, Detroit City, Dallas
Pittsburgh P.A, New York City
Kansas, Atlanta, Chicago and L. A.
Living in America
Hit me
Living in America
Living in America
I live in America
Not yet
I live in America
Living in America
Eat your heart out
Living in America
Living in America
Hit me, yeah get me now
Living in America
Living in America
Yeah
I live in America
Staying alive, we'll make the prime
I live in America
Hey, I know what you mean
Living in America
Hit me, I said now, eye to eye, station to station
Living in America
Go scream, let me
Living in America
Ah, yes, now ain't it funky? But it's good
Living in America
So nice, would you better stop?
Living in America
Alone from night to night you'll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisoner, don't let me be a prisoner
For one command I stand and wait now
From one who's master of my fate now
I can't escape for it's too late now
I'm just a prisoner, don't let be a prisoner
What's the good of my caring if someone
Is sharing those arms but not with me
Although she has another and I can't have
Another for I, I'm not free
She's in my dreams, awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her, I'm creeping
My very life, my life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner, don't let me be a prisoner
(Prisoner of love)
You made me a prisoner
(Prisoner of love)
And you made me love you
(Prisoner of love)
Take your shackles of love and go away
(Prisoner of love)
'Cause I love you so much now
You, you, you
I feel good, I knew that I would now
I feel good, I knew that I would now
So good, so good, I got you
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
Oh, like sugar and spice

Just an old sweet song keeps
Georgia on my mind
I said a Georgia, heh, maybe it's because
I'm from Augusta, Georgia
A song, a song of you
Comes so sweet and clear
Like the moonlight through the pines
Oh now
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you, yeah
Georgia, yea, Georgia
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps
Georgia on my mind, sing the song
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes will smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you, oh, oh

Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
Hi everybody, this is James Brown
This is a very, very unusual way to come to you
But I gotta start by saying thanks
Thanks for such a wonderful year
Not only to you, to God, number one
To you number two and for all the wonderful things
You know when I look at a beautiful day
I'll say God is there
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
I say it's happy because birds are tweeting
Sun is shining, the wind's blowing the breeze
The leaves are flying, everybody feels nice
Just say, oh God, thanks for all he wonderful things
You even see a little snow sometimes but you know, God only knows
How Christmas is gonna look, so one more time I'll say
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
Now let's make our next year be as nice as this year
Now Christmas gotta be the kind of a Christmas
That we remember a long time ago
You remember when everybody used to look forward to it, Santa Claus
You'd wanna know what you gonna have the next day
You couldn't wait until Christmas morning to jump up
But that's the morning you wouldn't go to your table
You go straight to your little sack
Hanging on the mantle over the fireplace
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
You know I just enjoy this and I, I can't really can't find enough words
That would really make me express myself the good feelings that I have
But I wanna say thanks, thanks to God and now
Let's make Christmas the kind of a Christmas that we'd remember
You know, you made Christmas very, very beautiful for me
In my past years but let's make this Christmas beautiful for everybody
The kind of a Christmas that mom, dad, granddad
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year

This is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing without a woman or a girl
You see man made the car
To take us over the road
Man made the train
To carry the heavy load
Man made the electric light
To take as out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water
Like Noah made the ark
This is a man's man's man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about the little betty baby girl
And the baby boys
Man makes them happy
Cause man made them toys
And after man made everyhing
Everything he can
You know that man makes money
To buy from other men
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the wilderness
In the twenty-first century, you can dance
Get your feet off the ground, get the dummy
And if you believe then you can fly
If a man can read, then he can reply
Hit it, gravity
Yeah, wait a minute, look here
Gravity, the big G
G R A V I T Y, gravity
Say it, gotten a hold on me
For the third verse, the sun
I've been trying to get the funky job done
Pull myself up and work that funk
Don't listen to the wrong honky tonk
You got no sense, you dance too fast
You burn all night, you'll never last
If every man can dream he can defy
G R A V I T Y, gravity, wow, big G
G R A V I T Y, gravity
G R A V I T Y, wait a minute
Slow it down, big city
There's a fat cat there sitting pretty
Watch me break out in a cold sweat
Jump back in, you ain't seen nothing yet
You shake it up, you dance too fast
Make it real, make it last
If every man can dream then he can defy
G R A V I T Y, gravity, the big G
Gravity, G R A V I T Y, say it
Gravity, gotten a hold on me
Let me say that if you can dream
Then you can fly
G R A V I T Y
If you can love, then you can defy
G R A V I T Y, G R A V I T Y
Good god
Gravity, the big G
G R A V I T Y, gravity, the big G
Gravity, the big G, G R A V I T Y, say it
Gravity, good god
Got a hold on me
Gravity
G R A V I T Y, gravity
Big G, G R A V I T Y
Gravity, gravity, G R A V I T Y, say it
Que pasa, people
Que pasa, hit me
Ooh, get on down
I wanna get on the good foot
The good foot
I gotta get on the good foot
Going down to the crib
Let it all hang out
Where soulful people
Know what it's about
Going down to the crib
Let it all hang out
Where soulful people
Knows what it's about
Where people give a sign
And take your hand
And dancing to the music
Of the James Brown Band
They're dancing on the good foot
I gotta get on the good foot
I gotta do it on the good foot
Do it with your good foot
I said the long-haired hippies
And the Afro blacks
Can all get together
Across the tracks
And they party
On the good foot
You know they dance
On the good foot
Dance on the good foot
Ain't nothin' going on
But the rent
A whole lotta bills
And my money spent
And that's on my bad foot
You know my face
Is getting short and
I got the blues
I got a funky job
And I pay my dues
On the good foot
On the good foot
I gotta get on the good foot
Hey on the good foot
Get on the good foot
Drummer now
Hit it there
You gotta hit it
Get it, shuffle down
Come on, get it
On the good foot
On the good foot
On the good foot
Get on the good foot
On the good foot
On the good foot
Get on the good foot
On the good foot
Bass, bass
Hit it there
Hit it there
Stop the bass
Play on it now
Come on, get it
Get it
Get on the good foot
I gotta get on the good foot
Get on the good foot
Take that business, sister
Now a good friend of mine
Sat with me and he cried
He told me a story
I know he ain't lying
Said he went for a job
And Mr. Man said
Without an education
You might as well be dead
Now don't get me wrong
He said, it's not who you are
But people come to me
From near and far
But I do just what
And I follow the rules
I didn't have an education
So I had to go back to school
Tell me one more time, people now
What do you say?
Without an education
You might as well be dead
One more time
What do you say?
Without an education
You might as well be dead
My friends told all his buddies
That he loved so well
And of their personal troubles
I will not tell
Now those guys didn't seem good
And they didn't seem bad
They didn't seem so happy
And I know they weren't sad
But the point isn't
That they follow the rules
They got an education
And they all been in school
Now underneath his tears
I could see the true fact
When he dropped out of school
He never, never went back
Tell me one more time, people
What do you say?
Without an education
You might as well be dead
Got to, got to, got to listen now, now
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
So one day he got tired
Of his little spending change
So he looked up his friends
To check their pay range
When he got there, the crib
He found that he was a drag
'Cause man, they were clean
And his clothes were like rags
One was a business man
With the plenty of dough
He had his thing so set up
You know he couldn't blow
The other had his job so uptight
He had his whole family
And his kids all out of sight
Tell me one more time now
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
You got to, got to, got to get a little learning
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
What made him so hurt
That these were his friends and he was a drag
They looked at him
And he was in the same old bag
For his friends they worked real hard
When the work day was through
Now, he realized
He should have done the same thing too
Tell me one more time now
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
You got to, got to, got to get a little learning now
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
For the last time, I'm gonna say
They kept on pushing
When the going was tough
And now they know
That things don't seem so rough
So kids, stay in school
Don't be no drag
Take a fool's advise
And stay out of that bag
Look here, tell me, Bobby tell me one more time
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
Tell me, The Jewels, tell me now one more time
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
Everybody, tell me one more time
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
You got to, got to, got to, got to get some learning now
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
Don't be a drop-out, stay in school now listen to me
What do you say?
Kids, kids
Might as well be dead
No, no
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
Stay in school, have a good time
What do you say?
Don't, don't, don't ever blame
Walking with my baby
She got great big feet
She's long, lean and lanky
Ain't had nothing to eat
But she's my baby
I love her just the same
Crazy bout that woman
Cause Caldonia is her name
Caldonia, Caldonia
What make your big head so hard
I love you, I love you just the same
Crazy bout that woman
Cause Caldonia is her name
I don't know what's wrong with her
Someone gotta change right here now
I wanna tell you something
You know, my mama told me
To leave Caldonia alone
(What's the matter with her
What's the matter with her)
I don't know, she says she's no good
She said, son, said, keep away from
That woman, she ain't no good at all
(She must have made a mistake, brother)
Yeah, with mama, there's always
God know what's down
(That's what I thought)
So I'm going down to her
House just one more time
(All right, all right
I'll wait for you)
Caldonia, Caldonia
What make your big head so hard
I love you, I love you just the same
Crazy bout that woman
Well look here Jack

He's got rhythm in his feet
But nothing in the sack
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa

In a mountain
Like a hermit in the cave
He never had a haircut
He never took a shave

And than you can hold your men, you can hold your men, you can hold your men,

Brother, do you know what I'm talkin' about?
Brother, do you understand it now?
Brother Byrd, you know what I'm talkin' about!
Ladies and gentlemen
Fellow Americans, lady Americans
This is James Brown
I wanna talk to you about one of our
Most deadly killers in the country today
I had a dream the other night, and I
Was sittin' in my living room
Dozed off to sleep
So I start to dreamin'
I dreamed I walked in a place and
I saw a real strange, weird object
Standin' up talkin' to the people
And I found out it was heroin
That deadly drug that go in your veins
He says:
I came to this country without a passport
Ever since then I've been hunted and sought
My little white grains are nothin' but waste
Soft and deadly and bitter to taste
I'm a world of power and all know it's true
Use me once and you'll know it, too
I can make a mere schoolboy forget his books
I can make a world-famous beauty neglect her looks
I can make a good man forsake his wife
Send a greedy man to prison for the rest of his life
I can make a man forsake his country and flag
Make a girl sell her body for a five-dollar bag
Some think my adventure's a joy and a thriller
But I'll put a gun in your hand and make you a killer
In cellophane bags I've found my way
To heads of state, to children at play
I'm financed in China, ran in Japan
I'm respected in Turkey and I'm legal in Siam
I take my addicts and make 'em steal, borrow, beg
Then they search for a vein in their arm or their leg
So, be you Italian, Jewish, Black or Mex
I can make the most virile of men forget their sex
So now, now, my man, you must (you know) do your best
To keep up your habit until your arrest
Now the police have taken you from under my wing
Do you think they dare defy me, I who am king?
Now, you must lie in that county jail
Where I can't get to you by visit or mail
So squirm -- with discomfort -- wiggle and cough (hack!)
Six days of madness, hah, and you might throw me off
Curse me in name! Defy me in speech!
But you'd pick me up right now if I were in your reach
All through your sentence you've become resolved to your fate
Hear now! Young man and woman, I'll be waitin' at the gate
Don't be afraid, don't run! I'm not chased
Sure my name is Heroin! You'll be back for a taste
Behold, you're hooked!
Your foot is in the stirrup
And make -- haste!
Mount the steed!
And ride him well
For the white horse of heroin
Will ride you to Hell!
To Hell!
Will ride you to Hell!
Until you are dead!
Dead, brother! Dead!
This is a revolution of the mind
Get your mind together
And get away from drugs!
That's the man!
They say loving nothing but the blues
Everybody got the blue sometimes
They say that loving nothing but the blues
And everybody got the blue sometimes
Come on over here, try me, baby
Get a taste of this blues of mine
I wanted you to know what it mean to be in love
Do you know what it means to be mistreated day and night?
Do you, do you, do you, do you know what it means to be in love?
Do you know what it means to be mistreated day and night?
Most of all when you love someone
You always take the wrong instead of the right

CHORUS: The first Noel the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel VERSE1: They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel (The following 4 verses are not sung on the Boney M version) And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. (CHORUS) This star drew nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took it rest, And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay. (CHORUS) Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee, and offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frakincense. (CHORUS) Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; That hath made heaven and earth of naught, And with his blood mankind hath bought. (CHORUS) The first Noel the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgotand days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne. We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine; we've wander'd mony a weary foot

A cigarette that
Bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket
To romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
A tinkling piano in
The next apartment
Those stumbling words that
Told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swing
These foolish things
Remind me of you
You came, you saw
You conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March
That makes my heart a dancer
A telephone rings
No doggone one to answer
The ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
I'm hurt, I'm hurt
You came, you saw
You conquered me, baby
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that
Makes my heart a dancer
A telephone rings
No doggone one to answer
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
(These foolish things
Remind of me of you)
Baby, sing it
(These foolish things
Remind of me of you)
Tell me, show and tell
(These foolish things
Remind of me of you)
Show and tell, baby
(These foolish things
Remind of me of you)
Hey, hey, hey
(These foolish things
Remind of me of you)
My baby
(These foolish things
Remind of me of you)
I miss your lips
(These foolish things
Remind of me of you)
Hard bodies
Soft emotions
So fast
So smart
The world is at your feet
But what about your heart?
Fame and fortune can't hold you tight
In the late late hours of the night
How do you stop
Before it's too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before it's too late?
You think love will wait
So you don't hold on
And then it's gone
You've had success
Lots of fancy friends
You've tasted the good life
You thought it would never end
One day you're too young
Then you're in your prime
Then you're looking back at the hands of time
How do you stop
Before it's too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before it's too late?
You think love will wait
So you don't hold on
And then it's gone
How do you stop a runaway train?
How do you stop the driving rain?
How do you stop the ripening corn?
How do you stop a baby being born?
How do you stop
Before it's too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before it's too late?
How do you stop?
You're lost if you hesitate
How do you stop
Love from slipping away?
How do you stop
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a feeling that's so hard to bear
You give me fever when you kiss me
And fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
And fever all through the night
Listen to me, baby
Hear ev'ry word I say
No one can love you the way I do
Because they don't know how to love you my way
You give me fever baby, when you kiss me
And fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
And fever all through the night
Bless my soul I love you
Take this ole heart away
And take this arms I'll never use
And just believe in what my lips have to say
You give me fever a-a, when you kiss me
And fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
And fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call James Brown
I know you gonna love me right
Mmh mmh, baby, mmh ...
Oh - no no - oh
My face is wet, my face, my face
(I'm a woman)
I'm a man
(I'm a woman)
I'm a man
What makes a man break up inside?
And what makes a man give up his pride?
What makes a man feel he's began to fail?
And when he can't win he thinks he even can't tell me
(A woman)
Say it again
(A woman)
Say it again
(A woman)
I ask you
What makes a man jealous of each other?
So tacturned against his brother, now here's the reason
She makes a cloudy day seem bright
She makes a nightmare turn into the warmest night
You know, she makes trouble seem so, so
She can turn a hardship and she makes it so easy to cross
She brings life into the world over and over again
No man in the world could ever bear those pains
She never lets you know when se feels bad
And she smiles when she feels sad
And when you and when you feel blue
She know her place right beside you
Right beside you and I wanna know
What makes a man stop tiring?
And who's the only one
I got the feelingBaby, babyI got the feeling
You don't know what you do to mePeople are heavy, down in miseryHey, yeah, alrightHey, hey, good Lord
I got the feeling, alright
Baby, baby, babyBaby, baby, babyBaby, baby, babyBaby, baby
I got the feeling, babyBaby, sometimes I'm upSometimes I'm downMy heart, I'm around the town
I'm level with the ground, babyI said level with the groundWell, baby, you treat me bad
No, no, I know no, you don't mean it nowSometimes, I roamBut I'll be coming back homeSometimes, I seem to be flyI just don't know when to say bye bye
Hey baby, babyI got that feeling, babyI have it, alright
Baby, baby, babyBaby, baby, babyBaby, baby, babyBaby, baby
Out Of Sight
Verse 1:
It's a celebration baby, step out with me.
Draped in your finest clothes and accessories.
I notice you've been focused on the stress of the week.
But it's Friday tonight.
Spend the night out with me.
Prechorus:
Let's hit the party tonight.
That will be out of sight.
No matter where we decide, it's gon' be on tonight.
You look you're ready and right.
You showed me out of sight.
We're coming home late tonight.
Chorus 1:
We gonna do it right right.
We'll do it right right.
Our hands are sky high.
From left to the right.
Don't look that the time.
Just let it fly by.
We live the good life.
And we'll do it right right.
We'll do it right right.
Verse 2:
Ain't too fast or slow, it's just enough to get down.
Might be from the country but were going to town.
This weekend we can freak a leek all on the floor.
First get low, then come close.
Let the music control, oh.
Prechorus:
Let's hit the party tonight.
That will be out of sight.

And we'll do it right right.
We'll do it right right.
Bridge:
This is the last call.
Fill up your glass ya'll.
We'll dance until they play the last song.
It's the end of the night.
Now it's just you and I.
It's time for us to take this party back home.
Prechorus:
Let's hit the party tonight.

Good God, Good God
All right, can't stand it
Wait a minute time, Tim
Let me get this whole thing
Together over here
Told my darling that I had to go
It's your body, I don't care no more
Although you had me, time to get along
Money won't change you, momey won't change you...
But time will take your own do
Then you know, how to be treated
Hold me, baby, tell the world
That you're my woman, my only girl
Money won't change you, money won't change you...
But time will take your own do
I know you're happy
To know you're happy, and to know you're gone
Money won't change you
Money won't change you, mama
I said, money won't change you
But time will take you own
I said, put a smile as good as gold
But that smile now can't be sold
You said, baby, that you had to go
Back to somebody, I don't care no more
Told your friends I was a fool
The trouble's, woman, that you've got to go through
Other lover won't take me home
I have a...
Even in the street, even in the car too
Mashed potatoes and boogaloo
C'mon baby and let yourself go...
It's your body, I don't care no more
C'mon baby, c'mon baby, everybody, everybody
Need your hand, need your hand
Let me tell you I, I, I...
I don't mind your love
(I don't mind)
I don't mind the one you're thinkin' of
(I don't mind)
I know, I know
You gonna miss me
I don't mind your love, so soft
(I don't mind)
I don't mind, it can't go cold
(I don't mind)
I know, I know
You gonna miss me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Somewhere down the line
I don't mind, this is all of my song
(I don't mind)
I don't mind, goodbye, so long
(I don't mind)
But I know, I know
You gonna miss me
I could mind some love
No, no, no, I don't mind
For your precious love means more to me
Than any love could ever be
For when I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue
For that's what love will do
Darling, I'm so surprised,
Oh, when I first realized
That you were fooling me
Darling, they say that our love won't grow
I just want to tell them that they don't know
For as long as you, long as you are loving me
Our love will grow wider, deeper than any sea
And all the things in the world, in this whole wide world
Is just that you would say that you'd be my girl
( wanting you ) wanting you, ( I'm lonely and blue ) whoa, lonely
That's what love will do
For your precious love means more to me
Than any love could ever be
For when i, I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue
Let them talk if they want to
Talk don't bother me
I want the whole wide world to know
That I love you so
Let them whisper for they know not
What between you and I
I keep on loving you until the day I die
They're trying to breakup our romance
But they don't have, they don't have a chance
We had the kind of love that was so strong
And we'll be together from now on
I know that gossip comes from the devil's workshop
But true love will make it stop
I want the whole wide world to know
That I love you so
They're trying to breakup our romance, darling
They don't stand a possible chance
We had the kind of love that was so strong
And we'll be together from now on
Let them talk, let them tell anybody
I don't care, let them talk, let them tell anybody
Hit me now, hit me, let them talk
I just don't, it don't bother me, no, no, no
Let them tell everybody, sometime
Sometime they just don't, they just don't
They just don't understand it
But come on, hit me now, hit me
Oh baby I wanna feel, I wanna feel now
Hit me, hit me now, let them talk, let them talk
Let them talk, let them talk
Hit me now, hit me, baby, I just don't
The things that I used to do
Lord, I won't do no more
The things that I used to do
Lord, I won't do no more
I used to sit and
Hold your hand, baby
Cry and beg you not to go
I was born in Georgia, baby
Lord, I was raised in Tennessee
I was born in Augusta, Georgia, baby
Lord, I was raised in Tennessee
No matter how hard I tried
Somebody always hurting on me
I'm going to send you
Back to your mother and
I'm going back to my family too
I'm going to send you
Back to your mother, baby
Lord, and I'm going back to my folks
My old, my old folks back home too
Cause nothing I can
Do to please you, mama
Lord, I just can't get along with you
Ow, ow, ow
One night farmer Brown was takin' the air
And I locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the hen house something stirred
When he shouted, "Who's there?"
This is what he heard
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground
Kickin' up an awful dust
So point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, hit the hay
Tomorrow is a busy day
We got ground to dig, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So point that gun the other way
There ain't nobody here but us
We're chickens trying to sleep and you bust in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin
Hey, hey, hey, I gotta poop
Oh, tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch
There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
Point that gun the other way
And kick it up an awful fuss
We're chickens trying to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin
Ain't nobody, nobody here but us chicken now
I gotta tell you all
I wanna give a little soul now
Leave us alone, alone, can't you leave us alone?
Talk to me, talk to me
Darling, I love the things you say, talk to me

In your own sweet gentle way?
Let me hear, tell me, dear
Tell me, you love me so
Come on and talk to me, talk to me

Talk to me, talk to me
Hold me close, whisper low
Come on and talk to me

One of these days, you'll be in misery
Some day you'll take a fall I bet you

Although there are oceans we must cross
And mountains that we must climb
I know every game must have a loss
So pray that our loss is nothing but time
Till then, let's dream of what there will be
Till then, we'll call on each memory
Till then, when I will hold you again
(When I will hold you again)
Please wait till then

(Baby, baby, till then)
Till then, we'll call on each memory
(Baby, baby, till then)
Till then, when I will hold you again
You come home late from work, baby
You wonder why it ain't on the table
After the day that I've had
I don't believe I'm able
You give me every little reason in the book
But there's one thing that I think you've overlooked
you say you're tired, well so am I
Baby you've got to try and
Meet halfway or we ain't gonna make it, baby
Meet halfway if you want to get it right
Meet halfway cause I ain't gonna take it, baby
Meet halfway in the middle of the night
Our love is kind of stalled, baby
But it aint about the sex
I'd trade the roses and the negligees
If we could just connect
I go deeper when you look into my eyes
There's a place where neither one of us can hide
And it's up to us to reinvent the game
Love it when you call my name and
Meet halfway, ain't no doubt about it, baby
Meet halfway, and we're halfway home
Meet halfway, got to scream and shout it, baby

This old heart
Can't stand much more
This old heart
Can't stand much more
Though i heard it
I won't turn you, oh, no
This old heart
Can't bear this pain
This old heart
Can't bear this pain
If you love me
You won't hurt me
And refrain
Took my love
And now you're gone
Took my heart
And gone on home
I know, pretty baby
That you won't be true
And i don't care what you do
This old heart
Can't bear this pain
This old heart
Can't bear this pain
If you love me
You won't hurt me
And refrain
Took my love
And now you're gone
Took my heart
And gone on home
I know, pretty baby
That you won't be true
And i don't care what you do
This old heart
Can't stand no more
This old heart
Can't stand no more
Though i heard it
I won't turn you, oh, no
Though i heard it
I'm gonna love you like no one can loved you
High as a mountain, deep as a river
I guess, when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't, don't ever bet me, baby
Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me like no one can love me
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't you be fine, [Incomprehensible] me, baby
Days may be cloudy or sunny
When we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you, rain or shine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
When, when we're out of the money [Incomprehensible] on
But I'm with you always
I'm with you, I'm with you, I'm with you
Run around the corner
Fell asleep in the sun
You had to move into the shade
Before you fire the gun
We got a hunger for destruction
Need someone to bleed
You sealed the deal before the dawn
You let your actions proceed
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Sooner or later said you know that it’s true
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
You think you’re so sly
You tried to roll by
You played the safe side
You said will somebody take me
Down town
Another James Brown
You made the same sound
You said will somebody write this down …. down
Fightin’ back revenge
You’ve got you’re face to the ground
You make excuses for the madness
You’ve been hanging around
You built a house up in the trees
So you could see everyone
You set the clock and had a run
You set the clock and had a run
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Sooner or later said you know that it’s true
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
You think you’re so sly
You tried to roll by
You played the safe side
You said will somebody take me
Down town
Another James Brown
You made the same sound
You said will somebody write this down…..down
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Sooner or later said you know that it’s true
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
You tried to roll by
You played the safe side
You said will somebody take me
Down town
Another James Brown
You made the same sound
(M. Detroit)
Tonight it feels like
The start of World War III
Looks are like arrows
And words are enemies
You with your silly games
And me trying to work it out
Take my hand and lead me down
Cause tonight I feel like James Brown
Now I know how it feels
To be lonely on a stage
Won't your conscience or your humor
Keep you from walking away
It's so hard not to fight
But I think I'll let you
Wear the crown
Take my hand and lead me down
Cause tonight I feel like James Brown
Human nature is blind and thick
It's chewing on this anger
That makes you sick
If we threw away our stones and sticks
What other games we could play
Please leave me some dignity
How low can I bow
Somebody take my hand and lead me down
Cause tonight I feel like James Brown
Somebody help me now
Please............
C'mon
So take my hand
I'm gonna leave you now
Cause tonight I feel like
